Adam Driver revealed that he and director Steven Soderbergh pitched a Star Wars movie centered on Ben Solo, titled "The Hunt for Ben Solo," to Lucasfilm and Disney, but Disney ultimately rejected the idea. Driver, who played Kylo Ren/Ben Solo in the sequel trilogy, was interested in exploring the character further after his redemption in The Rise of Skywalker, a development he initially wasn't planning for. While Lucasfilm, including Kathleen Kennedy, Cary Beck, and Dave Filoni, were enthusiastic about the concept and a script written by Scott Z. Burns, Disney executives Bob Iger and Alan Bergman turned it down, citing that they didn't understand how Ben Solo could be alive.[1] Driver expressed his love for the character and regret that the project, which Soderbergh also enjoyed developing in his head, will not come to fruition.[1]
